Finally

I think I am done with my project of showing you all the things in my house not made by me...there's more but that's all I'm showing, you'll have to come visit me to see the rest! This is an eames era painting found at a thrift store. The red parts you see used to be orange. I painted them red:

My sister gave me this UFO ad (Flying Sauces ARE real!):
This is a folk art cardinal whirligig missing the wings:

have a great day everyone!

Just a coupla things

Top of the mornin to ya! Actually it's after 5pm on St. Patty's Day and I'm not even wearing any green. This little fella looks Irish doesn't he? I found him about 20 years ago (geesh!) and have hung onto him dearly, he hangs on my Wall of Fame where all the other pictures are of famous people: and they are all signed to me! Course, I signed them myself, but it fools everyone. typical response, "When did you meet Tim Conway?" or "You know Al Green?!" Yup, in mah dreams I do indeed...

And this is a vintage TV dinner table tray that I couldn't pass up for a buck at the thrift store.

This painting was a gift and seems to be a less exuberant version of this. Her name is Rosie and was painted by Eleanor K. Schoff in Rome, NY 1985. She seems quite sad here as she leans on her cane, but at least she is in a pretty setting.

My Little Red House

This embroidered house was found at the thrift store. i stretched it and framed it so it would be square. It's such a sweet little piece of folk art, and it's got my colors: red, green and brown! I love the trees in the foreground. I have this on my HOUSE wall which I will show you once I am done with this project.

Thrift Store Finds

Here are 3 pieces I've stumbled across in my thrift store rummagings. This first one is a wonderfully painted reproduction of a Margaret Keane painting, I couldn't find the name for it, but here's the original. It's signed simply: Millie. I painted the background red because I like red...

And this is relief painting of acrobats I found in Boston of a Chagall knock-off (got it for a buck):

And this is a tiny painting of the Boston Tea Party, sorry it's a little blurry.

PBN

I used to collect paint-by-number paintings, but that obsession is over now and here are the aftermaths:
